Unfortunately, there's not simple formula to identifying all of the factors of a number and it can be a tedious process when trying to identify the divisors of larger numbers. To find the factor combinations of the number 341,205,007, it is easier to work with a table - it's called factoring from the outside in.
We start by creating a table and writing 1 on the left side and then the number we're trying to find the factors for on the right side in a table. Then, below that, write the numbers as a negative as well.
| 1 | 341,205,007 | |
| -1 | -341,205,007 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 341,205,007.
Example:
1 x 341,205,007 = 341,205,007
and
-1 x -341,205,007 = 341,205,007
Notice both answers equal 341,205,007
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 341,205,007 and divide it by 2:
341,205,007 ÷ 2 = 170,602,503.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 170,602,503.5 are factors. In this case, the quotient is not a whole number. Don't write anything down and try the next divisor.
Here is what our table should look like at this step:
| 1 | 341,205,007 | |
| -1 | -341,205,007 |
Now, we try dividing 341,205,007 by 3:
341,205,007 ÷ 3 = 113,735,002.3333
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 113,735,002.3333 are factors. In this case, the quotient is not a whole number. Don't write anything down and try the next divisor.
Here is what our table should look like at this step:
| 1 | 341,205,007 | |
| -1 | -341,205,007 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
341,205,007 ÷ 4 = 85,301,251.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 85,301,251.75 are factors. In this case, the quotient is not a whole number. Don't write anything down and try the next divisor.
Here is what our table should look like at this step:
| 1 | 341,205,007 | |
| -1 | 341,205,007 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 11 | 13 | 47 | 143 | 517 | 611 | 6,721 | 50,767 | 558,437 | 659,971 | 2,386,049 | 7,259,681 | 26,246,539 | 31,018,637 | 341,205,007 |
| -1 | -11 | -13 | -47 | -143 | -517 | -611 | -6,721 | -50,767 | -558,437 | -659,971 | -2,386,049 | -7,259,681 | -26,246,539 | -31,018,637 | -341,205,007 |
